That must be why the Athertons are the face of Continental Tyres, but race on Maxxis with the logos blacked out.

If you think Continental are somehow immune to the fluctuations of the oil market, you need to have yourself another think.

the conti prices arent going up and the amount of oil based products continental buy yes it is a seperate division of the company but it will take it from the plc's stocks

reason prices are going up so much is base product of maxxis has gone up, the masses of transport costs have gone up and now china labour costs.

blackchilli is not as oil based as its a synthetic rubber, German labour costs haven't gone up as much as china and they already have less transport costs. therefore conti wont rise as much and since they are already 50quid a tire they will just take the tny hit on slightly less profit.
